For me, when arranging a shoot, whether I'm doing it in the capacity of a photographer or model comms are everything.
Of late, I've experienced a massive downturn in terms of general courtesy and respect.
I know people have lives outside of this community, but when you are striking up a conversation with someone about a shoot, I would expect the conversation to be two-way and rather fluid because you'd hope that the other party is quite motivated and excited by the prospect of the shooting an idea.
So why is it, you send a person a message, days go by with out a response, yet the other person can find plenty of time to like posts, post images of themselves and go on other social media, but can't find 30 seconds of their day to respond to you message.
People will say I, it's the time of year and we are distracted by Xmas preparations, but I been monitoring this since the end of summer.
Quite frankly, I find this rather rude, especially if you are going out of your way to pay for studios costs or other items related to the shoot.
People need to pull up their socks and act a little more professionally in my view.
If you can't be bothered to respond to a shoot enquiry in a timely matter, it speaks volumes about your commitment to the shoot.
